Watch: TMC leader insults ‘Jai Shri Ram’ chant, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra dares her to talk about ‘Allah hu Akbar’

On Friday, firebrand BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra slammed a Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP named Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar for mocking Hindu sentiments.

During a debate held on ABP News over the recent ‘Chandi Path’ theatrics of Mamata Banerjee ahead of the Vidhan Sabha polls, Dastidar claimed that the slogan of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ was being used to kill people. “We know Lord Ram had worshipped Goddess Durga prior to killing the demon king Ravana. We call it Akaal Bodhon. It is celebrated in West Bengal during the Autumn (Sarat) season. So, we give equal importance to Lord Ram as well… We just don’t kill people in the name of Jai Shri Ram,” the TMC leader said.

The show host, Romana Issar Khan, concluded from her statements that BJP has been trying to conceal several heinous acts under the garb of the ‘Jai Shri Ram’ slogan. She also pointed out that Union Textile Minister had come with a new religious slogan – “Bolche aber Nandigram, sobar mukhe Jai Shri Ram (Nandigram is reverberating with the chants of Jai Shri Ram).” Khan claimed that ahead of the upcoming polls, both parties have been engrossed in religious politics.

BJP leader and spokesperson Sambit Patra, who had been waiting patiently for his turn, hit out at TMC MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar for trying to gain political mileage at the expense of Hindu sentiments. Pointing out the hypocrisy of the ruling dispensation in West Bengal, he emphasised, “Can you talk about those who hurl bombs by yelling Allah hu Akbar? Can you say that several terrorists commit crimes by chanting Allah hu Akbar? Can you or Mamata Banerjee accept the fact that someone has been beheaded or his throat slit because of Allah hu Akbar?”

Patra further added, “You will never say this. But, you easily came to the conclusion that incidents of rapes are preceded by slogans of Jai Shri Ram. You also insinuated that Jai Shri Ram is a cry for murder.” After being caught off guard, Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar claimed to be an ardent devotee of Lord Ram, Goddess Durga, Goddess Saraswati. “You cannot be a devotee of Lord Ram or Goddess Durga,” Sambit Patra snapped at her.

TMC leader wants to ban ‘Jai Shri Ram’, claims Lord Rama loved beef

Earlier in January, TMC heavyweight leader Madan Mitra said, “Jai Shri Ram, we have to ban this slogan. I am going to the High Court. This is Bharatvarsha. Why are you saying Jai Shri Ram? You are excluding Sita. Can there be Ramayana without Sita? It means you have been trying to implement the NRC from the beginning.

He also mocked Hindu sentiments by claiming that Lord Ram would not eat unless beef was cooked by Goddess Sita herself. Mitra has been handed an election ticket by the TMC from Kamarhati constituency in North 24 Parganas for the upcoming polls.

So-called farmers protesting at Singhu border start building illegal, two-storey pucca houses: Details

It has been over 100 days since the so-called farmers protest, spearheaded by Khalistanis from India and abroad, has been raging on. Even after the rampant violence on the 26th of January, the farmers have continued to protest against the 3 farm laws passed by the Modi government, that actually benefit the farmers.

While causing immense disruption to the public’s life, the protestors have been staying in temporary accommodations like makeshift rooms built using tarpaulin on the ground or trolleys attached to their tractors. However, the protestors are now replacing these temporary structures with illegal, permanent brick structures due to the approaching summer.

The ‘pucca’ houses being built at the protest site will be double-storeyed

According to reports, these permanent structures are located a few kilometres from the Singhu border. Masons building these permanent structures have reportedly been called from Punjab.

“On Friday, farmer leaders from Punjab discussed constructing ‘pucca’ houses at Singhu border. The meeting revolved around ways to protect farmers at the border from the scorching summer. There are four houses in all being built at the border, but their number is likely to increase. All these houses will be two-storeyed”, one Karamjit Singh, who manages the media cell of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), was quoted as saying.

Rising temperature and mosquitoes are being cited as the reasons for building these houses. “Due to a large number of farmers at the border, these two-storey buildings are being and if the agitation is prolonged further, our preparations need to be stronger”, he added.

With the pucca houses being built by the protesting farmers, the inconvenience to the public at large is only set to increase. Given the history of this protest turning violent with the help of Khalistanis, the pucca, illegal structures being built now by the so-called farmers pose an imminent threat.

West Bengal: Mamata Banerjee goes from a leg in plaster to crepe bandage in 2 days flat, Netizens ask her about the ‘magic cure’

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who had allegedly suffered a bruise and hairline fracture, has been discharged from the hospital just two days after the alleged attacks on her at Nandigram.

On Friday, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was discharged from the hospital, where she was admitted after sustaining injuries during the campaigning ahead of the West Bengal assembly elections. Mamata Banerjee had claimed that she suffered an injury due to an alleged attack against her in Nandigram. 

Mamata Banerjee had alleged that suddenly four to five persons pushed her when she was trying to get into her car, causing injury to her leg. She also added that her leg was swollen, and she was having chest pain. Following that, she was admitted to the SSKM Hospital, where it was diagnosed that Mamata Banerjee had “suffered a serious fracture”. However, within two days, she has now been discharged from the hospital.

Accompanied by her supporters and party workers, the Chief Minister emerged in a wheelchair from the hospital and headed straight to her Kalighat house in Kolkata. Interestingly, Mamata Banerjee, who is alleged to have suffered a serious hairline fracture, was seen with a crepe bandage, raising questions about the seriousness of her injury.

Social media users quickly detected the anomaly, who expressed their surprise over Mamata Banerjee’s brisk recovery in just two days. Many netizens pointed out how Mamata Banerjee’s hairline injury got cured in a span of two days, and her fracture bandage (plaster) was replaced with a crepe in such a short span of time.

Ajit Datta, a social media user, pointed out how the plaster was changed to a crepe bandage in a day. He said it was the Ashol Poriborton (real change) in Bengal.

Another social media user said Mamata Banerjee has now gotten into the book of “Guinness World Records” for removing her fracture bandages in such a quick time.

Many had a field day on Friday, as they took to social media to question how someone could recover from a hairline injury within a span of two days. Facts, a Twitter fact-checker, on a lighter note, said Mamata Banerjee could recover in a short span of time as she is a Wolverine.

Though people have wished Mamata Banerjee a speedy recovery following the Nandigram incident, netizens have pointed out several loopholes in the claims that have been put forward by the Trinamool Congress party pertaining to the incident. The discharge of Mamata Banerjee in just two days and removal of her fracture bandage in such a short span of time will only raise more questions about the alleged attacks that took place on her a few days ago.

In fact, the local witnesses have already refuted the charges made by Mamata Banerjee, who had claimed that she was attacked during the rally. The locals, who were present at the spot during the incident, have rejected Mamata Banerjee’s claims to state that her car hit a pole, causing her injuries.

Local eyewitness rejects Mamata Banerjee’s claims, says her car hit a pole

Hours after Mamata Banerjee claimed that she was injured in an alleged attack on her in Nandigram, a different angle to the incident had occurred. According to locals present at the spot, nobody attacked the West Bengal CM, and she was injured after her car had hit a pole.

A report by TV9 Bharatvarsh completely denied the allegations put out by Mamata Banerjee. The report quoted statements by several locals who witnessed the incident. They claimed that the entire account given by Mamata Banerjee is false, and it was an accident. They also said that she was surrounded by police protection at that moment, denying the CM’s claim that there was no police protection around her at the time of the incident.

Describing how the CM suffered the injury, the eyewitnesses said Mamata Banerjee was greeting the crowd with folded hands from her car. The car was moving, and she had kept the door of the car open to greet the people waiting by the roadside. 

“At Birulia Bazar in Nandigram, the open door of the moving car hit a pillar, causing the door to shut forcefully. The door hit the leg of Mamata Banerjee, causing the injury,” said the locals who claimed to have witnessed the entire incident.

The locals said that as the pillar is short, around 3 feet tall, and the driver did not see it. Hence, the open door hit the pillar, which caused the injury. They said that it was a minor accident, and there is no political conspiracy behind it.

USA: Alabama House of Representatives passes bill to end Yoga ban, but postures to have only English names and no ‘Namaste’

The Alabama House of Representatives has approved a bill that will enable K-12 school systems to teach Yoga if they so desire. Until now, there has been a ban on Yoga and meditation along with hypnosis in the state since 1993. The bill was passed by the Alabama House of Representatives with a vote of 73-25.

However, the use of chanting, Mantras and teaching “Namaste” would still be forbidden. The bill was sponsored by Democratic Rep. Jeremy Gray of Opelika. “I’ve been in yoga for seven years. I know the benefits of yoga, so it was very dear to my heart, and I think Alabama will be better for it,” he said.

Gray said that some gym teachers had already been teaching Yoga without realizing that it was banned. He said that others wanted to offer it too. The current bill says that the poses taught to students must have English names exclusively.

Gray said that some members “got a lot emails about it being part of Hinduism.” “Some people’s minds you can never change. If you have to vote your district, I understand it,” he said.

The Alabama Board of Education had voted to ban Yoga in public school classrooms in 1993. The ban was precipitated by pressure from Conservative groups. The bill will now move on to the state Senate.

Ex-Chairman of the Shia Waqf Board files a petition in SC seeking removal of 26 verses of the Quran saying they ‘promote terrorism and jihad’

UP Shia Central Waqf Board ex-chairperson, Syed Waseem Rizvi has filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking that “26 verses of the Quran be removed”. According to news reports, Rizvi in his petition has stated that the Quran, the holy book of Muslims, has “some verses that are used to promote terrorism, violence, jihad”.

In the PIL, Rizvi has claimed that these verses were added to the holy book of Muslims later. “These verses were added to the Quran, by the first three Caliphs, to aid the expansion of Islam by war”, the former Chairman of the Shia Waqf Board said according to media reports.

Rizvi wrote in the petition that “after Mohammad, the first Caliphs Hazrat Abu Bakr, the second Caliphs Hazrat Umar and the third namely Hazrat Usman released the Quran as a book, based on the oral preachings of Mohammad”. This was passed on from generation to generation.

Rizvi has added in his petition that almost 26 verses that were added to the Quran by these Caliphs promoted violence. According to Rizvi, terrorists use these verses to fuel jihad. He also said that these verses are used to mislead the young Muslims generation, provoking them to become radicals and terrorists resulting in the massacre of millions of innocents.

However, Syed Waseem Rizvi has come under attack from other Muslims for his petition. Criticising Rizvi for this ‘blasphemous act’, Jammu and Kashmir Civil Society Forum chairman Qayoom Wani said: “Any kind of blasphemous act about Quran is intolerable to humanity in general and to Muslims in particular and whosoever does the blasphemous act, history is witness, he has seen its harsh result. JKCSF has appealed the Supreme Court of India to outright reject the petition of amendments against Quran to safeguard and respect the sentiments of the Muslims and other Quran lovers who seek guidance from this book of Allah”.

Saying so, Wani demanded life imprisonment for culprit’s like Rizvi, so that “in the future, nobody can dare to speak against Prophet Mohammad and the Quran”, opined Wani.

Congress announces a list of 30-star campaigners for Bengal elections, includes stoic Manmohan Singh, comical Rahul Gandhi, and scam-tainted Azharduddin: Details

Congress announces a list of 30-star campaigners for Bengal elections, includes stoic Manmohan Singh, comical Rahul Gandhi, and scam-tainted Azharduddin: Details

Congress has released a list of 30 potential star campaigners for the upcoming assembly polls in West Bengal. The campaign includes Party’s interim chief Sonia Gandhi, ex-PM Dr Manmohan Singh & party leaders Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Sachin Pilot, Navjot Singh Sidhu, Abhijit Mukherjee and Mohd Azharuddin.

Congress general secretary KC Venugopal, in his letter to the Election Commission, said that the following leaders of the Indian National Congress would be campaigning as per Section 77(1) of the Representation of People Act 1951, for the ensuing first phase of elections to the legislative assembly of West Bengal to be held on March 27.

Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is among the list of star campaigners in West Bengal. Gandhi would perhaps try to lighten the intensifying political environment in Bengal with his inanities or by competing with people in push-ups on his campaign trail. He might even jump in the Hooghly river to flaunt his “six-pack” abs and commune with the local fishermen. There is an enduring doubt in some people’s mind over whether Rahul Gandhi is truly the star campaigner of the Congress party or the opposition parties.

it is also notable that after an extensive campaign against the left-front government in Kerala, Rahul Gandhi will appeal for votes for the Congress-left alliance in West Bengal. It is to to be seen whether he attacks incumbent chief minister Mamata Banerjee, as TMC is Congress ally at the national level.

Former PM Manmohan Singh, perhaps, would energise the Congress campaign by being himself, which is by being maintaining a stoic silence. Scam-tainted Mohd Azharuddin is also included in the list of the campaigners for the upcoming polls in West Bengal. As far as opinion polls go, Congress seems to be in a tricky situation in West Bengal and they might need the services of Azharduddin to ‘fix’ the issues plaguing them.

However, what is surprising is that the senior Congress leader Dr Udit Raj, who is projected by his followers as the next Congress President, has not made the cut.

Another highlight of the star campaigner list is the presence of Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu. It is, however, unclear how Sidhu, who fell from the grace after he visited Pakistan where he was seen posing alongside Khalistani terrorist Gopal Singh Chawla, would help revive Congress’ dying fortunes.

It is pertinent to note that though Rahul Gandhi keeps trotting out that India is no longer a democracy under the BJP rule, it seems like the Congress party has also ceased to be a democratic institution where dissenting voices are not honoured and respected. Not a single member of the G-23 leaders, who appealed for a complete overhaul and sweeping new reforms within the party, have been included in the list of 30-star campaigners.

Earlier, senior Congress leader Veerappa Moily even rubbished the existence of G-23, stating that the party is united under Sonia Gandhi’s leadership. “The Congress is one,” he said when asked about the difference of opinion within the party.

While Moily and other senior leaders have dismissed the existence of G-23, it is a loose coalition of a group of dissenters in the party who have been, time and again, calling for a complete revamp of the party. Even Ghulam Nabi Azad, one of the foremost Congress veteran, has not been included in the list of party’s star campaigners in West Bengal. Azad may have fallen out of favour with the Congress party and their feudal lords ‘The Gandhis’ after heaping effusive praises on PM Modi.

Subramanian Swamy expresses angst over SC accepting Ashwini Upadhyay’s petition challenging the Places of Worship Act but not his

Subramanian Swamy expresses angst over SC accepting Ashwini Upadhyay’s petition challenging the Places of Worship Act but not his

The Supreme Court has today issued a notice to the Centre on a petition challenging the validity of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act 1991. The petition was filed by BJP leader and lawyer Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay. While this news definitely left all Hindus gleaming with joy, considering it marks a positive step towards their long-standing efforts to reclaim their religious places of worship which were converted into mosques by Islamic invaders, it has upsetted BJP MP Subramanian Swamy, who used this opportunity to express his angst towards the supreme judicial body of India, charging it with being partial.

Taking to Twitter, the BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP complained that the Supreme Court today took note of the plea filed by Ashwini Upadyay, but, did not bother to list his PIL on the similar matter.

Lamenting over SC’s bias, the BJP MP Subramanian Swamy said that now he would tag his PIL along with that of Ashwini Upadyay’s. “Today Noted Lawyer Ashwini Upadyaya’s WP challenging the 1991 Act barring any more temples being restored on which mosques had been built, SC issued Notice. SC Registry should have listed my WP on the same matter but erred in not doing so. I will now seek tagging with Ashwini’s”, Subramanian Swamy wrote on Twitter.

Earlier Subramanian Swamy had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to amend the Act. He had said that the Act is offensive and ultra vires of his fundamental rights to freedom of worship. “Fundamental Rights cannot be amended or modified by the Parliament or by any law passed by the Parliament. It cannot have the overriding effect of extinguishing my fundamental right of freedom of worship under Articles 25 and 26 of the constitution. Hence, the Ministry of Law should bring an amendment to this Act,” he had written in the letter to the PM.

This Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act 1991 was introduced on July 11, 1991, by the Narasimha Rao govt at the centre with a motive to prevent Ram Janmabhoomi-like reclamation movements for other places by Hindus in India. This Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act 1991 placed a status quo retrospectively on the character of places of worship as existing on the date of Independence, i.e. August 15, 1947. However, the Ram Janmabhoomi was kept out of the purview of the act as the title suit for the plot in Agra was already in the court.

The act declares that the character of a place of worship freezes on 15 August 1947, meaning if a place of worship is a mosque as on 15 August 1947, its character is that of a mosque even if it was originally a temple. The act provides for punishment if any person changes or attempts to change the character of any religious place to another.

In his petition, Upadhyay argued that Act takes away rights of Hindus, Jains, Buddhists and Sikhs to reclaim their places of worship through Courts and also legalises illegal acts of Muslim invaders.

Referring to the ongoing dispute before a trial court for reclaiming the birthplace of Lord Krishna at Mathura which is directly hit by the bar under the 1991 Act, the petition, argued by senior advocate Vikas Singh, said that the 1991 law violated the principle of secularism which is an integral part of Preamble and a basic feature of Constitution.

“Hindus are fighting for restoration of birthplace of Lord Krishna from hundreds of years and peaceful public agitation continues, but while enacting the Act, the Centre has excluded the birthplace of Lord Ram at Ayodhya but not the birthplace of Lord Krishna in Mathura, though both are the incarnations of Lord Vishnu, the creator. The apex court has finally decided Ayodhya dispute on November 9, 2019 and found substance in the claim of Hindus and now a new temple is going to be constructed after more than 500 years of demolition,” read the petition filed by BJP leader and lawyer Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, hearing which the SC sought the Central government’s reply on the matter.

This matter assumes significance in the backdrop of demands by various Hindu outfits to reclaim religious places like Mathura and Kashi, related to Lord Shiva and Lord Krishna respectively, in Uttar Pradesh, which are prohibited under the 1991 law.

The bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) SA Bobde and Justice AS Bopanna while issuing notice to the Centre on the petition said: “The Centre has barred remedies against illegal encroachment on places of worship and pilgrimages and now Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs cannot file a suit or approach a high court under Article 226. Therefore, they won’t be able to restore their places of worship and pilgrimage including temple endowments in spirit of Articles 25-26 and illegal barbarian act of invaders will continue in perpetuity.”

Following SC’s observations, BJP leader and lawyer Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay who took to Twitter to welcome the apex court’s decision on his petition challenging validity of Places of Worship Act.

“SC issues notice to Home, Law & Culture Ministry on PIL challenging validity of Places of Worship Act The Act not only takes away the religious rights of Hindus Jains Buddhists Sikhs to reclaim their places of worship through Court but also legalizes the illegal acts of invadors”, wrote the BJP leader on Twitter.

Google search says James Hewitt, Princess Diana’s lover, is Prince Harry’s ‘real father’: Here is how the rumour began

Prince Harry of the British Royal Family has been in the news recently following his Oprah Winfrey interview with wife Meghan Markle which stoked a major controversy. Now, there is a new development that could be a source for more embarrassment for the Royal Family and Prince Harry himself.

When one searches the term ‘Prince Harry Real Father’ on Google, the answer that props up is James Hewitt, a British Army officer Princess Diana was having an affair with. In reality, his father is Charles, Prince of Wales.

However, searching the same set of words in incognito mode throws up the correct result.

When searched in Incognito Mode

Nevertheless, when one searches for ‘Prince Harry actual father’ in Incognito mode, it again shows James Hewitt as his father.

Incognito mode shows similar folly

There have been rumours that James Hewitt is the biological father of Prince Harry, a claim that Hewitt has himself denied. But that has not stopped the rumour mills. The superficial similarities in their appearances has certainly contributed to the rumours. Princess Diana had admitted to having an affair with him in the mid-90s.

The affair is reported to have begun when James Hewitt have been asked to give Diana riding lessons as a member of the household Cavalry. He has consistently denied the rumours and said that Prince Harry was already a toddler when the affair began.

Prince Harry was born in 1984, the affair reportedly began in the mid 1990s. He has told the Daily Mirror, “When I first met Diana, Harry was already a toddler. I can understand the interest, but Harry was already walking by the time my relationship with Diana began. Admittedly, the red hair is similar to mine, and people say we look alike.”

Google’s algorithms, however, appear to have been hoodwinked by the rumour mills into throwing up Hewitt’s name when people search for Prince Harry’s “real father”. Quite clearly, regardless of the inadvertent search results, Prince Harry’s father is Charles, Prince of Wales.

Massive furore in Pakistan Senate after the discovery of hidden Chinese spy cameras inside the hall

Massive furore in Pakistan Senate after the discovery of hidden Chinese spy cameras inside the hall

Chaos swept over the Pakistan Senate or the Upper House of the Parliament on Friday during voting for the Senate Chairman’s post after the Federal Minister for Information Shibli Faraz accused the opposition of installing spy cameras over the polling booth for the chairman and deputy chairman elections.

Before the voting process commenced, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar claimed that “spy” cameras were installed right over the polling booth. It was reported that Chinese spy cams were discovered inside the Senate hall. Senator Raza Rabbani said installing spy cameras was a violation of the law.

Following the accusation, many MPs rose in uproar and the voting process was disrupted.

The Senate was holding a secret ballot today to elect its chairman and deputy chairman. Earlier, 48 newly elected members of the upper house took the oath.

On March 3, Senate elections were organised in Pakistan on the seats for which current MPs were set to retire on March 11. The Senate Secretariat had informed that the oath-taking ceremony of the newly-elected senators would be taking place in the morning, followed by the election for the chairman and deputy chairman in the afternoon or evening.

Former PM Yusuf Raza Gilani of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) was nominated by the Pakistan Democratic Movement(PDM), the opposition alliance of 11 parties, for the chairman’s post while Maulana Ghafoor Haidri of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) was nominated for the deputy chairman post.

On the other hand, the incumbent Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) of Prime Minister Imran Khan, along with its allies, selected Sadiq Sanjrani for the chairman’s post and Mirza Mohammad Afridi for deputy chairman.

A fierce competition between the two sides is expected in the House of 100. The one who will be able to get 51 votes will be the winner. The opposition claims it has the support of 51 senators. Similar claims have been made by the government.

The two sides have accused each other of using money and other tricks to lure legislators to support their candidates.

Earlier, Gilani’s win as a senator from Islamabad general seat was a bummer for Pakistan PM Imran Khan, who had campaigned for his Cabinet colleague, PTI candidate and Finance Minister Abdul Hafeez Shaikh. Though, Gilani had narrowly defeated Shaikh by racking up 169 votes as compared to his rival who got 164 votes.

The tenure of a Senator in Pakistan is for six year, with half of them retiring after three years. A new chairman and his deputy is elected after every three years to run the upper house.

Uttar Pradesh’s ‘little man’ wants Akhilesh Yadav to come back to power to find him a bride: Watch video

A 26-year-old Muslim man in Uttar Pradesh recently approached the Shamli police, asking them to find him a bride as his family was not helping him out. Azeem Masoori stands at 3 feet 2 inches and is often referred to as ‘little man’.

Azeem Mansoori, who is just two feet in height, is frustrated as no girl wants to marry him due to his physical disability. Tired of finding a partner, Azeem has now reached the Kairana police station’s doorsteps, demanding them to find a suitable bride to get married.

Azeem Mansoori, a resident of Kairana, has pleaded with the woman police official to help him get married, saying, “Madam, how long will I remain a bachelor”.

The aggrieved person said he has failed to find a bride for himself even after searching a lot. Accusing his parents of betrayal, Azeem said that his parents did not agree to his marriage whenever he found a bride. Azeem said that his dream of marrying has remained a distant dream till now.

Speaking to the media, Azeem contended that as police are public servants, they should help him find his bride. He also said he had earlier approached the Kotwal SDM several times before but to no avail. Interestingly, Azeem said he had also met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to narrate his ordeal. However, even Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has not succeeded yet in finding a bride to Azeem.

“I have been trying for so long. Is there no one with whom I can live my life? Now I have come to ask for help from the Public Servant Police,” he said.

Reportedly, Azeem’s parents are searching for a girl for him ever since he turned 21 years old. Due to Azeem’s height, no one agrees to the marriage proposal.

Rejection has caused him a lot of stress, unable to sleep: Azeem Mansoori

Facing repeated rejections from several prospective brides, Azeem Mansoori said the rejection has caused him a lot of stress, and he cannot sleep at night. Requesting the police to help him, Azeem, who is the third of his six siblings, said he was ready to get hitched to any girl irrespective of her caste, creed, colour or religion.

But, Azeem has only one demand, i.e., his future wife must be educated. He wished to get married before Ramzan and promised that he would take her new wife to Goa, Shimla and Manali for honeymoon.

“My wish is to get married before Ramadan. No matter how the girl is, she should be educated. I’m very upset. And, now if the police will help me in getting married, I will take my wife to Goa, Shimla and Manali for the honeymoon,” Azeem Mansoori said.

Interestingly, Mansoori said that he had met former UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav in 2019 in connection with his marriage. He hoped that Akhilesh Yadav would return to power in the 2022 assembly elections and find him a bride.
